Boston Children’s Hospital is home to the nation's first comprehensive Pediatric Neurocritical Care Program. Combining expertise across medical, surgical and imaging specialties, the Boston Children's Hospital program is devoted to protecting and treating the brains of critically ill and injured children.

Our director

He came to Boston Children's in 2010 from the Cambridge University (UK) Foundation Trust Hospital, and is also the former director of the General Medical Intensive Care Unit at London's Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.

Dr. Tasker was the first physician in the United Kingdom to train in neurointensive care for children. Learn more about him.

The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us.”
